I realize this is a late admission, nevertheless, I felt it was important to point out exactly who as of Dec. 18,2008 has been named to his administration.

There are a few things you will notice regarding most of the names here. I hope you will research each and discover for yourself, exactly who these people are and where they came from.

I will tell you this. Most of the people share something in common. Harvard,
Cornell, Princeton and Illinois......But more importantly CLINTON!!!!!!!!

So now I ask you: Where is the CHANGE???

Just a repeat in my opinion!

I am terrified of the life we are going to have.

You are not alone, so take comfort!! I'll tell you who is really scary is Carol Browner! She was a HUGE supporter of Al "Bore" and all of his tripe about catastrophic GLOBAL WARMING!!! That is where most of our resources will go!!
You should check her out! Then the real fear will set in

Change from the current administration. Some of us liked the Clinton administration. Not really all that difficult to understand. You don't even need to think outside-the-box on that one.
